Guitar Hero 3 Wii Lag

[msi1337]

I got my Wii in yesterday and everything plays fine. I played the sports disc for a while with no issues.

I went to CC and purchased Guitar Hero 3 bundle (on sale $59.99)

hooked it all up and calibrated it in the options to 24ms.

the game seemed to have sync issues. When I had my 360 I owned the game and I could get 100% on virtually all the first songs.

With the wii I was missing notes I knew I hit, and I would get like 80-90%.

I have a 32" LG LCD HDTV, currently using composite cables, until my component cables arrive in the mail tomorrow. Using a new wiimote with brand new batteries. Standing about 4-5 feet in front of the sensor bar. Sensor bar is about 48" up just underneath the television

any ideas on how to fix this?

How did you calibrate? Did you set it to 24 seconds because that's what it was on the 360? Or did you do an autocalibration? The reason I ask is that if you are using the same value you used on the 360 the lag has probably changed. The Xbox natively outputs High Definition resolutions so no upscaling is required, eliminating some of that lag. Also I'd assume that there is a different lag associated with the component or HDMI cables you were using on the xbox360 and the composite cables you're using right now.

I've always had issues using the autocalibration methods, I seem to get different values every time I try it... but what I'd do is use the autocalibration like 5 times and if you are getting a consistent value start with that... otherwise take kind of an average as a starting point. Then put on practice mode and take a relatively easy section and watch closely as you strum. Make sure you are strumming exactly when you see the note hit the target and watch closely to see if the strum is registering before or after the target and manually adjust the number accordingly.

Wait you can calibrate the Wii version of GH3? O snap, as much as I want to, it would seriously throw of the timing I've been playing with since last Christmas

I'd get the calibration right anyway... you will adjust to proper timing very quickly and once you do your scores will probably improve
Plus, you won't be all thrown off if you play somewhere else that is calibrated right

i have the PS3 version and i never calibrated it. I went to my brothers house, he has a 32" LCD and Wii version, the timing was wayyyy off. I failed a couple easy songs to try to get used to it. Im thinking its necessary to calibrate the Wii version.

I noticed the same thing when I went from playing GHII and GHIII on the xbox using a wired guitar to the PS3 playing with a wireless. It'll take time, but you'll get used to it.

the 24ms was set by running through the calibration test. I tried the test 5-6 times and it always got 24-25ms
